Bittersweet Revenge

Chapter 35

Kinakabahang napatingin siya sa kanyang sarili sa harap ng malaking salamin. She bit her lower lip when she met her bestfriend's stare.

"I'm freaking nervous,Britt." Aniya sa maliit na boses.

She gave her a knowing smile. Tinabihan siya nito sa harap ng salamin.

"That's just wedding jitters, Bleau. You'll be okay once you see him inside the church waiting for you."

She pouted.

"Siguro nga. I'm sweating real hard and I think I'm gonna throw up."

"What?!"

Tinanguan niya lang ang kaibigan na halatang biglang nag-alala para sa kanya. Nanlalaki ang matang hinawakan nito ang dalawang kamay niya at iginiya siya patungong comfort room.

"Now, throw up. Geez, I don't want to smell your puke." Nakangiwing saad nito na ikinatawa niya. Pinitik niya ang noo nito at iniwan ito sa harap ng CR. She took her seat as she tried to calm her nerves. She breathe in and out while caressing her baby bump. A small smile curved on her lips. They'll be family a few minutes from now. Blake, her and their baby.

He huffed as he tried to wipe the sweat that started to form in his forehead. He's fvcking nervous! Too many questions have been running inside his brain the moment he stood in front of the altar. Paano kung hindi siya nito siputin ngayon din? Paano kung hindi naman talaga siya nito mahal?Sa bawat minutong lumilipas ay lalo lang tuloy siyang kinakabahan. He tried to dial her phone number but it just kept ringing. Napamura tuloy siya ng malakas na ikinatingin ng halos lahat ng tao sa simbahan. Napangiwi siya habang huminhingi ng paumanhin.

"You look like you're gonna pass out any second, Blake. Are you okay?" Carlsen muttered while grinning like a fvcking idiot. Ang sarap tuloy nitong sapakin.

"Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood." He hissed back at him. Natatawang napaatras ito habang nanunuya ang tingin sa kanya.

"You can still back out, you know. Bleau is kinda bratty and too difficult to handle. You almost had the same attitude. You won't click." Nakangising saad nito at halatang iniinis siya. He raised his middle finger towards him making the crowd gasps in shock. Agad naman niyang ibinaba ang kamay at ibinalik nalang ang tingin sa harapan ng simbahan. Bakit kasi isa lang ang bestfriend niya? He's really stressing him out.

His face suddenly brightened when he saw her emerged in front of the church door. Napakurap siya at napatayo ng tuwid nang magsimula na itong maglakad sa saliw ng kantang pinili mismo nito. Ngiting- ngiting napatitig siya sa bawat paghakbang nito. And when she stood in front of him, everything flashed right before his eyes. Kung paanong nabihag na siya nito sa unang pagtagpo palang ng kanilang mga mata. She's the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Kung paanong sinaktan niya ito at pinaiyak. Yun din ang araw na narealized niyang mahal nga niya ito. He cried and beg for forgiveness. And she's just too pure and too kind to give him another chance. Ang swerte niya at ito ang minahal niya. Napakaswerte niya at magkakaroon na siya ng kanyang sariling pamilya.

"Blake, do you take Cyler Bleau to be your lawfully wedded wife, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Mahigpit na ginagap niya ang kamay nito. A single tear fell from his eye.

"I do, Father." Aniya sabay halik sa kamay nito kung saan niya isinuot ang singsing. He smiled at the woman he's in love with.

"The first time I saw you, you're the most beautiful girl for me. Now? You're still the most beautiful, baby. You're too exposed in public and I hate that. I hate how you live your life. I hate how others admired you. I'm too possessive,baby. I only want you for myself." Pinunasan niya ang luhang naglandas sa napakagandang mukha nito. She still looked like a freaking mannequin. Natatakot tuloy siyang baka nananaginip lang siya. He heaved a deep sigh as he grasped her hands so tight.

" I hurted you intentionally. That's how I knew I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, baby. I impregnated you so you have no excuse to leave me. I am that desperate and I'm not even sorry." He grinned as he heard the gasps and laughs of the people inside the church.
"I'm so in love with you, Bleau. So much. And if you still want to pursue your passion, I'm gonna support you all the way. I'm gonna be the best husband and father. I'll only love you till our hair turns grey. I'm gonna love you forever and always, baby. That I promised in front of God, our family and friends.

Gusto niyang umatungal na parang bata nang marinig ang mga sinabi ni Blake. She's so touched with what he has said. He's really good with words. He's really good with everything actually. She's the luckiest girl in the whole wide world. Hinding-hindi niya ito pakakawalan.

"Cyler Bleau, do you take Blake to be your lawfully wedded husband, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

Napatitig siya sa paring nagkakasal sa kanila. She smiled. She then stared at Blake.

"I do, Father!" Aniya sa malakas ngunit naiiyak na boses. She tried to stifle her sobs but she just can't. Before she can even utter her vow, she cried like a freaking baby. Tarantang pinatahan siya ni Blake. He looked so pale as he wiped the tears on her face. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from shedding another batch of tears.

"I- I'm sorry. I'm just so emotional this past few days." Panimulang saad niya bago binalingan ang nag-aalala paring si Blake. She slid the ring on his finger. She gulped and gave him a big smile.

" I went back to have my revenge. I don't expect to fall in love. But love really comes unexpected. It brought us together. I tried to prevent myself from falling in love with you but it's just too powerful." She sniffed when her eyes started to get blurry. Naiinis na pinahid niya iyon. Damn hormones! Nagiging iyakin na tuloy siya.

She cleared her throat as she stared at the face of the man she'll love forever. "You made me cry a river. But my love for you is just so real and forgiving.It melts the hatred and anger I felt deep within my heart. You are one of the greatest thing that ever happened to me, baby. Your love saved me. You are my happiness, my one great true love and the father of my baby. Mahal na mahal kita Blake! I promise to be with you for always, to be patient and understanding, to make you happy and to love only you for the rest of our lives. This I promised in front of God, our family and friends."

With a tear-stained face, she smiled at him. Humigpit ang pagkakakapit nito sa kamay niya. His eyes looked puffy as he stared at her with eyes full of love.

"I now pronounced you husband and wife. Blake, you may now kiss your wife." The priest announced in a loud voice.

She bit her lower lip when his face descended on hers. He held her face and kissed her tears away before he claimed her lips in a fiery kisses. She welcomed his kisses just like how she welcomed him on the new phase of life that they are going to face. As husband and wife and as a father and mother.

A happily ever after is just a long way to travel. Ours just started but it will never end. Fate brought us together but love made us one.
